this painting began with a photograph taken in a boston stairwell — a reflection of a reflection.
the image layers one act of looking inside another: a person framing a moment, a reflection holding that gesture, a photograph capturing both, and finally a painting translating it again.
the work considers how many versions of a single moment can exist at once, and how observation itself can become part of the subject.
